Beautylishious September Bag

My September Beautylishious bag arrived this morning, I had totally forgotten about it until someone said they received theirs yesterday! This is the second Beautylishious bag I have had, you can read what was in the first one here.
I love hot pink and leopard print together and the little charm is a lovely touch
The main item in the bag is a full size Wella Professional Balance Scalp Serum
Wella SP Balance Scalp Energy Serum is an intensive strengthening serum with a patented formula which makes thinning hair stronger, it can reduce hair loss by up to 50%. Balance Scalp Energy Serum delicately balances and soothes sensitive scalps as well as strengthening thin hair to reduce hair loss.

This smells so strongly of alcohol! The directions say to rub into your scalp and to not rinse out so I don't know if it will make my roots greasy, I don't have thinning hair or excessive hair loss so I don't know how well this will work for me - maybe I should give it to my Dad! Good job he doesn't read my blog!!
Murad Exfoliating Blemish Treatment Gel 30ml Sample Size

This hard working gel features a patented formula designed with anti-inflammatory botanicals and deeply cleansing agents for a clear, fresh finish. Retinol and hydrogen peroxide are blended with salicylic and glycolic acids to exfoliate dead, pore-clogging skin cells while penetrating pores to remove bacteria and other causes of blemishes. Exfoliating Acne Treatment Gel's non-drying texture uses licorice, aloe and chamomile to reduce redness and inflammation, as well as orange, grape and witch hazel extracts to nourish and promote clarity and health. Blemishes are diminished, breakouts are prevent and the skin is healthfully radiant.

I forgot that I had seen a spoiler for this item in the bag and bought this gel this week! It will come in handy to have another one though.
St Ives Apricot Scrub 30ml Sample Size

St Ives Invigorating Apricot Facial Scrub. Uk's No. 1 Scrub Brand captures the secrets of naturally beautiful and healthy looking skin. This cleansing formula gently exfoliates, removing dull, dead skin to reveal smooth, radiant, healthy looking skin.

This is a product that I always pick up in the Supermarket and I have just finished a tube so this will get used up.
Valentino Valentina EDP 1.5ml Sample

The composition is designed as a fresh floral - fruity - oriental, full of contradictions, simultaneously delicate and strong, elegant, sensual, rebellious and fun. 
It starts off with bergamot from Calabria and white truffles from Alba. Amalfi orange blossoms, sweet jasmine, tuberose and wild strawberries compose the perfume's heart, settling on the base of cedar, vanilla and amber.


I have had this in one of my Glossyboxes and the scent is nice so this will get used up.


Overall the bag is not bad, nothing really exciting though I'm afraid.  I absolutely loved the first bag that I got - it was like a present you would give to a friend and I couldn't wait to use everything up.  I will use everything in the bag apart from maybe the scalp serum and one of my friends always complains that she has thin hair so I will probably pass it over to her - although I will decant some to try as the bottle will last for ages! 

The Beautylishious bag costs £12 including postage and you can find the website here.

Did you get this bag? What did you think?

Beautylishious June Bag

Beautylishious is a small newly formed company that works along the same principles as the bigger beauty box companies.

There is no recurring subscription and you can buy as she opens the orders for the next month, the bags are limited to 20 so if you like what you see you have to be fast before they sell out - I've just gone to order the July's bag as I am so impressed with this one and she has already sold out.

The bags cost £12 including postage and contain 4-5 sample products.

You can find the payment dates here


The samples arrived in a gorgeous pink reusable woven bag with leopard print tissue paper - pink and leopard print is one of my all time favourite colour combinations so I'm in love before I've opened the bag!


A cute little silver charm is attached to the ribbon.


Full size bottle of Body Shop Beautifying Oil - these come in a few different scents and I got chocomania.  Smells sooooo nice.

Its a dry oil that can be used on your body, face and hair. This is a brand new Body Shop product and I'm looking forward to trying it on my hair.

This retails at £9


Next up is a 1.2ml sample of Sarah Jessica Parker's Pure Bloom Perfume.

Oh wow! I sprayed a bit of this on my arm and I can't stop smelling it. I think I've found my summer perfume! Plus looked online and I can pick up a 50ml bottle for around £15.




Third product is a handmade English Rose soap, can you see the little rose buds peeking out the top of the soap?

This looks too nice to use!

The soap is made by lilac thyme soap company


Fourth and fifth products are handmade bath creamers.

Again these smell lovely!

They are made by Bomb Cosmetics


I love every single thing in this beauty bag, I think the handmade items really make Beautylishious that bit different from the big companies beauty boxes.

I think if she keeps putting unusual items like these in the bags then shes on to a winner!

I will definitely be buying more bags in the future and I'm not happy I missed out on Julys!

Have you had a Beautylishious bag?
